Its also sad that some people pretend the potshots are only coming from one side.

Got no problem with the Biblical concept of praying for one another, I just go to Jesus with the prayers and not some saint that may or may not hear me. And as I said in my original post ... why pray to a dead saint for intercession when I have the ear of G_d?

Most of my prayers are directly to God.

It is good to know that you aren’t as opposed to the concept of prayer to the Saints as I thought.

Excellent observation. How very insightful of you to grasp this surprising fact.

The muslims and the mongols perpetrated many a mass murder. The Catholic Church? Not so much.

Maybe God likes the saint better than he likes you.

LOL, how does your saying they weren’t the only ones, demonstrate a weakness in my accurate history that I described.

Daily Telegraph is more conservative than Faux News will ever be. You best believe what you read on it.

Protestant isn’t very specific, and I’m not aware of any denomination except the Catholic one that has such a problem not with lust, but with lust for male flesh.

It isn’t like the catholic denomination is famous for it’s leadership falling for females.

And this, on the religious forum of FR, no less, the biggest Roman Catholic spin machine on the planet...hiding the truth about their own history, a long history of totalitarian rule and persecution. Hiding the truth that they are not the church Christ founded as they claim, but an impostor religio-political machine that arose in the seventh century.
